Mega! Cheers @neph93
The one I’ve ordered has S45VN. I’ve had S35VN before, presumably this is even better, because it’s 10 more init?

Isn’t that how all things work? [emoji38]

I have a hard time telling the difference between S45VN and S35Vn, etc. I think for someone like me it's all the same, @LewisStonehouse. What do you use as a sharpener?
-
@neph93 more is more
@henry_david I sharpen my knives when I visit my Dad, he’s got an extremely over-engineered (and ridiculously expensive) jig that makes it a doddle. Can’t remember the name of it, I’ll ask him and report back
-
Much appreciated dude!
-
@henry_david it’s a TSProf K03 apparently
-
Damn that sharpener's a BEAST ???
-
Yeah dude it’s cool, did a good job sharpening all my knives anyway

@neph93 love that knife. The steel is ball bearing steel. Very high tolerance. Don’t fear the rust. It’s just knife fades. Have you mastered the spydie flick?
I have learnt that. Although funnily enough, I learnt it on an MKM knife. I was playing with it one night and figured that if I do «that» then «that» it should flink and it did. I then remembered reading about the spydie flick, Googles it, and had that Gen X superiority rush. It was nice.

Anyone got any experience with a Para 3. Just ordered one with a solid discount on it, never had a knife from Spyderco before
Love my Para 3s
But I find I grab this one most of the time - Smock

Enjoy my para3 as well–-but the scales did chew up my pockets pretty quickly.

Exquisite, @JDelage. I'd never heard of them and so gave the knives a look. Just … wow. Beautiful design and lovely finishing.
I just received a kitchen knife from a San Diego, CA based company called Half Face Blades. I was gifted a fixed blade at Christmas and wanted to buy one of their kitchen knives. Made with S35VN, the blade has been given a black cerakote coating along with a paint splatter look. Truth be told, I didn't want this one (I think that it's functionally wonderful but ugly as sin), but I won accidentally on eBay and … well, here we are. I may re-list it and get rid of it.

lol @neph93

Just got this yesterday. I do have to admit to a bald spot on my left forearm. Just used to get shavings and kindling for a fire. Then had to use it for food prep, just to see if it could. Now cooking over the fire.

I used to check my woodworking chisels for sharpness by shaving my arm too

Looks like you stabbed Jackson Pollock ???
